Chilling out in OOTY.....d journey continues

HelloI hope you are ready to explore the chilling heaven. Since we had taken a scooty on rent, it provided us complete mobility to chill out. We had a wonderful time in Ooty enjoying all the delicacies it had to offer. And not to forget the wonderful Pizza at Dominos. So if you are pizza maniac like me, dont miss the hot and melting cheese pizza in the chilling evening while taking a walk on the cross cut road. Do look for the yummy momo shop which also serve delicious thukpa.

Places to visit:

Botanical garden:It is the primary tourist attraction in Ooty.
Filled with greenery and different flowers and tree vegetation, this garden
provides a beautiful view where you can enjoy the day and play games. The garden
is at full bloom in the month of April – May. The garden has a 20 year old tree
fossil which stands as the main attraction.

Rose garden in Ooty has terraces with rose tunnels, pergolas
and bowers with rose creepers. The garden has the largest collection of roses
with 3600 varieties of roses.

TheOoty Lake is beautifully spread for 2.75 kms in length in
irregular “L” shape. The lake is surrounded with lofty eucalyptus trees and
shrubs and boating in the calm water provides a scenic delight. Different types
of boats are available at the boat house as per the number of people and
preference. The lake and boat house have become the hub of entertainment for visitors. He posed so well

Doddabetta peakis the highest peak in south India. It is 10
kms from Ooty. There is telescope house at the peak where people wait eagerly
in queue to take a look. We also stood in the queue expecting a wow experience,
but ended up laughing when saw through it. The view was set on the crowded
street of Ooty market and you would have hardly a second to look at it and the
person standing there will ask you to move.

Pykara Lake, amid the lush green valley surrounded by forests
is a lovely getaway from Ooty. Don’t fail to visit the Pykara Lake as the
isolated lake free from pollution and crowd gives ultimate comfort and peace to
the soul.
